BUTTON-HOLE CUTTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 247,766, dated October 4, 1881.

Application tiled March 14, 1881. (No model.)

ments in Button-Hole Scissors, of which the following is the specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the gures and letters of reference thereon.

The nature and objectof my invention are to construct a pair of button-hole scissors, with the seat, fixing the definite play of the arms of the scissors, together with the screw-shaft., on which the nut forming the seat is located, between the arms, and also fixing a delinite rest for each end of the shaft, in the manner and form as hereinafter shown.

Figure l shows a plan view. Fig. 2 is a sectional view through the line x x of Fig. l.

Similar letters of reference refer to similar parts in the two figures.

A and B are the two arms of the scissors. ln the arm A a screw-threaded shaft, D, is lixedlyattached. Immediately opposite and in the arm B is a funnel-shaped hole, E, within which fits the opposite end of the shaft D.

Gis anut, werkingen the screw-shaft I). The nut O is adjusted on the shaft D at pleasure,

the end of the shaft fits, gives a support to the l end ot' the sha-ft. Thus both ends of the shaft are supported, and the entire length ofthe shaft is confined within the outer edges of the arms. Consequently no end of the shaftextends beyond the arms, and no opportunity is presented for them to catch on anything that might be in the way, as is the case in button-hole scis sors now in use.

The shaft D can be located at any convenient point ou the arms of the scissors.

What I claim is- As an article of manufacture, a buttonhole cutter havin g the screw-shaft D securely fastened to one arm ofthe cutter at one end, and

the other end resting in a conical recess in the other arm of the cutter, the nut C working on the shaft D between the two arms, all constructed and arranged' substantially'as and for the purpose described.
